I read that the black colored filiment is prone to problems. Is this true? What colors seem to work best. I am getting ready to order my first batch of filiment. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,289704,289704#msg-289704 Sun, 12 Jul 2026 14:57:21 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,289704,296317#msg-296317 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,289704,296317#msg-296317 Ohmarinus General Fri, 17 Jan 2014 05:47:45 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,289704,296298#msg-296298 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,289704,296298#msg-296298
Our filament works good with Makerbot,Ultimaker,Felix and etc.]]> ecoreprap General Fri, 17 Jan 2014 05:08:49 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,289704,289807#msg-289807 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,289704,289807#msg-289807 Unfortunately, I couldn't say the same about FormFutura's ABS filament, though. It's brittle and suffers from really loose tolerances and that at mediocre to higher prices. Never had filament stuck in the printed part of a Wade's extruder before! Never ordered something from them again, so I don't know how their other filament is.]]> uGen General Sun, 05 Jan 2014 16:29:54 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,289704,289747#msg-289747 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,289704,289747#msg-289747 Personally I buy only from ultimachine at this point, I just hate the wasted time from bad filament, the cheap filament I bought, I'd estimate about 20% was unusable, that's still technically cheaper, even with the wastage, but I'd rather be printing that trying to figure out why my prints are failing.]]> Polygonhell General Sun, 05 Jan 2014 14:48:44 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,289704,289710#msg-289710 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,289704,289710#msg-289710 Kobieashie General Sun, 05 Jan 2014 13:48:40 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,289704,289708#msg-289708 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,289704,289708#msg-289708
I'm guessing it depends on the vendor, and on the plastic type. I have black 3mm ABS filament from Lulzbot, never had any trouble with it whatsoever. It's rather expensive though.]]> NormandC General Sun, 05 Jan 2014 13:46:14 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,289704,289704#msg-289704 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,289704,289704#msg-289704 Kobieashie General Sun, 05 Jan 2014 13:40:42 -0500
